Description:''Grounding is a widespread and serious problem in microwave and RF engineering, and up until now, there hasn't been a practical, authoritative resource dedicated to the topic. This first-of-its-kind book offers a comprehensive understanding of the proper grounding techniques to use when working on various microwave circuit and antenna design projects. Practitioners learn what problems can occur when grounding design is inadequate, and how to avoid them. This book covers grounding as it pertains to a wide range of critical topics, including.'' Supported with more than 174 illustrations and utilizing simple derivations and results from numerical electromagnetic simulations of real components, this single resource provides broad, intuitive know-how that helps practitioners overcome design challenges with speed and confidence.
